Education plays a crucial role in shaping the quality, potential, abilities, and character of students. Learning methods in education are constantly changing and evolving according to learning objectives and needs. Currently, conventional teacher-centered methods are still widely used, but these methods have weaknesses such as making students passive, lacking critical thinking, and easily bored…
Natural Science (IPA) is a field of study that evolves from observing natural phenomena, aimed at understanding the occurrences that take place in daily life. Based on field facts, science learning still tends to utilize conventional methods that are less student-centered. This causes students to lose interest and feel bored during the learning process, making it more difficult for them to comp…
Education plays an important role in shaping students' character and developing their potential. A well-planned educational process enables individuals to acquire knowledge, skills, and opportunities to improve their quality of life. However, based on field observations, students' learning outcomes in science, particularly physics, are still relatively low. Several factors contribute to the low…
Physics learning at the senior high school level is not only aimed at delivering information, but also at developing students ’ deep conceptual understanding. However, in practice, physics instruction is still dominated by teacher-centered approaches that position the teacher as the primary source of information, causing students to become passive learners who merely memorize concepts without…
Education is the primary foundation for shaping the quality of human life, especially in equipping students with critical and creative thinking skills to face the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0. However, the reality at the junior high school level shows that Physics, particularly the topic of motion and force, is still considered difficult because it requires in-depth anal…
The development of a nation is greatly determined by the quality of education as its primary pillar, since the quality of human resources depends on the educational system implemented. In the era of globalization, the advancement of technology and information requires individuals not only to possess cognitive abilities, but also critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and high adap…
Terdapat beberapa cabang ilmu yang dipelajari dalam pendidikan di Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP), salah satunya adalah Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (IPA). IPA merupakan pengetahuan yang diperoleh manusia dalam memahami alam semesta melalui pengamatan dan prosedur yang tepat dan benar sehingga mendapat kesimpulan yang tepat. Menurut Samatoa IPA adalah mata pelajaran yang membahas gejala-gejala alam yan…
This research was motivated by the still low level of students’ self-efficacy in Physics learning, particularly on the topic of renewable energy. This condition is characterized by a lack of self-confidence, hesitation in answering questions, and students’ tendency to remain passive during the learning process. In fact, self-efficacy is one of the important factors that influence learning s…
Twenty-first century learning requires students to possess critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach was selected in this study because it has the potential to address the challenges of twenty-first century learning through the integration of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and comm…
21st-century learning emphasizes the development of the 4C skills (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) through active, contextual, and project-based learning processes. However, in practice, physics learning still tends to focus on theory, limited media, minimal practical activities, and low student engagement, resulting in suboptimal physics learning. Therefore, in…
International educational assessments such as PISA indicate that Indonesian students’ scientific literacy remains below the global average, highlighting the need for innovative learning approaches to improve educational quality. One relevant approach is deep learning, which emphasizes conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and knowledge transfer, particularly in physics learning on the …
This research is entitled “Implementation of STEM Robotics Learning Media on Motion Material to Train Higher Order Thinking Skills of Students at SMP Negeri 1 Pekanbaru.” The study was motivated by the low level of students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in science learning, especially on the topic of Motion. In the era of rapid development of science and technology in the 21st cent…
Pendidikan memiliki peran strategis dalam mempersiapkan sumber daya manusia yang mampu menghadapi perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi pada era modern. Salah satu kemampuan penting yang perlu dikembangkan dalam proses pembelajaran adalah kemampuan berpikir kreatif. Kemampuan ini memungkinkan siswa untuk menghasilkan berbagai ide, menemukan alternatif solusi, serta mengembangkan gagasan s…
Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh tantangan pendidikan abad ke-21 yang menuntut inovasi dalam sistem pembelajaran untuk melahirkan sumber daya manusia yang mampu bersaing di era global. Kualitas pendidikan suatu bangsa sangat ditentukan oleh sejauh mana siswa mampu mencapai hasil belajar yang optimal sebagai bukti pemahaman materi yang mendalam. Namun, hasil studi internasional (PISA) dan G…
Latar belakang penelitian ini didasari oleh rendahnya kemampuan spasial siswa SMA dalam memahami konsep fisika yang abstrak, khususnya pada materi gelombang cahaya. Media pembelajaran konvensional berupa gambar dua dimensi di buku cetak seringkali belum cukup untuk memvisualisasikan fenomena interferensi, difraksi, dan polarisasi secara nyata. Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi di era digita…
The problem identified in the learning process is the low level of students’ interest and learning outcomes. This issue is influenced by several factors, including students’ difficulties in understanding abstract physics concepts, particularly in wave topics, the lack of contextual and meaningful learning experiences, the use of less engaging learning media, and the limited active participa…
This research is motivated by the fact that students’ critical thinking skills and interest in learning physics are not yet optimal. Critical thinking is one of the essential competencies of the 21st century that needs to be instilled in every student, especially in subjects that demand high reasoning such as physics. However, based on literature studies and initial needs analysis, it was fou…
Skripsi ini membahas tentang penerapan strategi Everyone is a Teacher Here (ETH) berbantuan media kartu Truth or Dare dalam upaya meningkatkan hasil belajar kognitif peserta didik pada materi Bumi dan Tata Surya. Latar belakang penelitian berangkat dari permasalahan rendahnya hasil belajar IPA di tingkat SMP/MTs yang disebabkan oleh pembelajaran IPA masih dianggap sulit dan diajarkan secara kon…
